Chapter Summary: “Nighttime Sun”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The women mistake Aisha for Allen’s daughter. Aisha immediately denies it, while Allen mocks North God Second for bringing them to such a place.
• Their amusement ends when the Dragon King Kingdom’s Black Dragon Knights surround the restaurant. The Northern King, a North God Style disciple and trusted subordinate of Shagal, delivers an invitation from King Leonardo.
• Leonardo invites Allen and Pax Shirone to an immediate banquet to discuss their differing political positions. North God Second is deliberately excluded, though he tries to involve himself.

• Allen privately warns Aisha that the enormous armor guarding the chamber resembles Magic Armor, suggesting a possible connection to the Man-God’s plans.

• Aisha: Reveals her unusually mature, worldly personality and sharp judgment, embarrassing Allen by openly criticizing the women entertaining them. Her adult soul makes her a possible target of the Man-God, so Allen keeps her close and consults her about the suspicious armor.
• North God Second: Is portrayed as both powerful and irresponsibly lecherous. He enjoys teasing Allen but is angered when Leonardo excludes him from the banquet.
• Pax Shirone: Shows fear and distrust throughout the journey, worrying that Allen might abandon him politically. His terror intensifies when the armored guards are revealed to contain living soldiers.
• Leonardo: Appears to be either absent or replaced by an unknown individual. The false Leonardo’s invitation to play chess serves as a final distraction before Allen kills him.

Significant Themes

• Appearance versus reality: The entertainment venue, the disguised soldiers, the false Leonardo, and the armor all conceal their true nature.
• Manipulation and political intrigue: Leonardo’s invitation is presented as diplomacy but is clearly a trap connected to broader schemes involving the Dragon King Kingdom and the Man-God.
• Trust and protection: Allen’s decision to bring Aisha reflects his awareness that even distant events may be manipulated against his allies.
• Power and intimidation: The palace’s elaborate design, armored guards, and staged audience are meant to frighten visitors, but Allen effortlessly reverses the power dynamic.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Allen Boreas Greyrat travels toward the Dragon King Kingdom with Pax Shirone and a young girl believed to be his younger sister. North God Second and North God Third do not accompany him, allowing the kingdom’s conspirators to proceed with their plan.
• News of Allen’s arrival causes the Dragon King Kingdom’s princes and princesses to flee the capital. King Leonardo’s palace becomes nearly deserted, while nobles and civilians panic over Allen’s reputation as the “savior” who killed the First Prince.
• Leonardo, manipulated by dreams from a supposed god, agrees to an ambush designed by the Millish High Priests. He disguises himself using a Body Double Magic Tool, while the palace is secretly prepared for a massive attack.
• The High Priests enlist Randolph’s Demon Eye to create a Void Barrier around the palace, solidifying the mana inside and preventing the explosive magical traps hidden throughout the sewers from activating prematurely.
• Allen enters the palace and effortlessly kills thirty-two swordsmen sent as the first bait. He then reaches the throne room, where a second “bait” appears to establish communication and invite him to play chess.
• At that moment, Leonardo’s disguise fails as his ring shatters. The High Priest deliberately allows the Void Barrier to collapse, triggering a catastrophic explosion that destroys the palace and lights up the entire capital.
• The conspirators assume Allen has been killed. Leonardo becomes increasingly ecstatic and convinced that he has struck a decisive blow against Asura, while Shagal grows furious and distrustful of the High Priest.
• After nearly two hours, Leonardo returns to the ruins to find Allen’s corpse. However, beneath the wreckage, the throne room has remained completely unharmed.
• Allen is calmly seated on the throne, playing chess with his younger sister. As Leonardo and the others uncover him, Allen places a piece and says, “Check.”

2. Character Developments

• Allen Boreas Greyrat: Demonstrates extraordinary confidence and combat ability, cutting down the palace’s first ambush force without difficulty. His survival reveals that he was either prepared for the attack or possesses defenses far beyond the conspirators’ expectations.
• Leonardo: Changes from a frightened but ambitious king into a reckless, deluded fanatic. He convinces himself that the assassination plan will create a glorious legacy, then becomes consumed by excitement and hatred after believing Allen is dead.
• The High Priest: Reveals himself as the most dangerous and fanatical participant. He treats the palace’s destruction as “art” and appears to have deliberately sacrificed Leonardo’s disguise and Randolph’s protection to ensure the explosion succeeds.
• Shagal: Remains more practical and protective of his people and subordinates. He objects when Randolph is treated as expendable and becomes openly hostile toward the High Priest after the betrayal.
• Randolph: Uses his Void Eye to create the barrier but suffers severe physical backlash. He is later left injured and emotionally distanced from the High Priest’s actions.
• North God Second and North God Third: Their argument and absence from the palace ambush suggest growing tension between them, while their later efforts to help civilians emphasize their comparatively humane response to the disaster.

3. Significant Themes

• Manipulation and fanaticism: Leonardo’s decisions are driven by dreams and religious assurances, showing how easily ambition can be turned into fanaticism.
• Pride versus reality: Leonardo believes the explosion will secure his legacy, but his certainty that Allen is dead collapses when Allen is found alive and composed.
• Calculated strategy and deception: Both sides use disguises, surveillance, magical tools, bait, and false assumptions. The chapter emphasizes that the apparent battlefield is only one part of a larger game.
• The contrast between destruction and composure: The palace is reduced to ruins, yet Allen remains calmly playing chess, symbolizing his control over the situation and the conspirators’ failure.
• Power and political instability: Allen’s arrival alone causes the royal family to abandon the capital, exposing the Dragon King Kingdom’s fragile internal authority.

4. Character Interactions

• Leonardo and the High Priests cooperate under the belief that a divine plan guides them, but their alliance is built on manipulation rather than trust.
• Shagal repeatedly challenges the plan’s treatment of Randolph and recognizes that the High Priest has betrayed or endangered his own allies.
• The High Priest and Randolph work together to establish the Void Barrier, but the High Priest ultimately permits its collapse despite Randolph’s suffering.
• Leonardo and Shagal increasingly diverge: Leonardo embraces the destructive ambush, while Shagal worries about his people, his deputy, and the consequences.
• Allen’s final chess game with his younger sister contrasts sharply with the panic and destruction outside, while his final “Check” implies that the real confrontation has only just begun.

Chapter Summary: “When the Dust Settles?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Allen kills the remaining High Priests almost instantly, then executes the injured High Priest after learning that the Man-God has concealed his plans even from his own apostles.
• With their king and commanders dead, the soldiers surrender. One agrees to lead Allen to Shagal, while Allen sends the North God Second and Third to manage the soldiers and help contain the fires.
• Allen reaches the estate where Dictor Jinggedulagong has been confined. Pax is overjoyed to find her alive and embraces her.
• Shagal explains that Leonardo’s scheme was doomed and claims he allowed the king to die as proof of his sincerity. He proposes that Pax and he compete openly for control of the Dragon King Kingdom rather than resorting to assassination.
• Allen offers Pax two choices: immediately kill Shagal and install Pax as king, or allow Pax to build his own faction and win the throne through his own efforts.
• Pax chooses the second path, accepting responsibility for his future and expressing profound gratitude for Allen’s guidance. Allen and Pax part with mutual respect and good wishes.

Character Developments

• Allen remains overwhelmingly powerful, decisive, and ruthless toward enemies, but he also shows restraint and generosity. He protects the High Priest from the explosion despite intending to question him, gives Pax genuine political autonomy, and treats Aisha affectionately despite their mischievous chess match.
• Aisha displays both childish frustration and a willingness to trust Allen completely. Her dependence on his advice is exploited during the game, revealing her lack of experience but also their comfortable, playful relationship.
• Pax matures significantly. Rather than accepting a throne handed to him by Allen, he chooses to develop his own strength and political base. He recognizes Allen as a model of freedom and resolves to repay his debt.
• Shagal emerges as a pragmatic and intelligent survivor. He accepts Leonardo’s death, understands the kingdom’s instability, and seeks a political arrangement that gives him a chance to live and compete.
• Dictor is revealed to have been neglected and isolated by the royal family, but her recognition of Pax briefly restores her emotional vitality.
• Leonardo and the High Priests are exposed as desperate agents of the Man-God, whose plans are so secretive that even his apostles are treated as disposable tools.

Significant Themes

• Power and responsibility: Allen’s strength gives him the ability to decide the kingdom’s future, but he chooses not to control Pax’s entire life. Pax must earn and sustain his own authority.
• Freedom versus political power: Allen’s “absolute freedom” contrasts with the burdens of kingship. Pax learns that a throne, title, or faction is meaningless without the ability to govern independently.
• Trust and manipulation: Aisha trusts Allen even when he deceives her in chess, while the Man-God’s refusal to trust his apostles creates a system based on secrecy and disposability.
• The aftermath of destruction: With the king dead and the palace destroyed, the chapter shifts from battle to political reconstruction. Victory does not resolve the kingdom’s problems; it creates a power vacuum and a long struggle for legitimacy.
• Mercy and pragmatism: Allen is capable of instant mass killing, but he also protects allies, offers choices, and permits a political contest rather than imposing a ruler by force.
